Democrats Boast of 'Top 10' List in Last Congress

You call it "vigorous productivity", I call it destructive, unproductivity that cost the American taxpayers trillions over the next decade or two or three for spend happy bills containing nonsense pork fat.

Thanks to 11 turncoat repubs, obama got his wish list done!! These 11 will be gone next time they're up for re-election! I hope the dems rub their "accomplishments" in the repubs face for them allowing this to happen AFTER America said loud & clear that they didn't like the policies coming out of washington!

The words free enterprise have become a joke in this country. If you think I am lying . try to open a business or build a factory in your area and watch how much BS you have to go through from local, state and federal government. On the local level if you have not donated to the political powers in office watch how long it takes to get plans approved and permits issued not to mention the price tag.If our government was so interested in fixing the problem and encouraging investment into manufacturing in this country they would not make it so difficult.

Passing a bunch of bills and "acts" and changing some laws are not proof any any productive positive accomplishments. The jury is still out on their huge "success" story. How can they take credit for anything that has no tangible proof or evidence of being successful???? Once again the Dems see success as doing nothing or not getting caught doing wrong. Their thinking that just by passing a bunch of ill thought plans that something good will come of them is terrifying to say the least - yes maybe some good will come but I expect if it does it will be over shadowed by everything that was passed that will fail and valuable time and resources will have to be wasted to fix those things. I do applaud the President for finally taking a bipartisan approach but have to wonder why he waited so long.

You got to remember that the Tea Party can break away and take a karge segment with them from both parties and independents. And maybe that is what they need to do espicailly if the Rep. don't follow through. This gov that works for the people needs to get out of the way and stay out of our pockets.

i think it is going to be a hoot watching the old, new Reps. and the t-party battling each other for the next 2 years.

They wait until the last minute and then they say "look how hard we work". Most of this stuff could have waited for more discussion, But the Democrats had to look like they were hard at work. I see Russia is in no hurry to sign the S.T.A.R.T. treaty.

The Dems need a reality check. Self praise is never appropriate and especially in the face of voter rejection.

I think the lead sentence says it all: "They lost 63 districts and the majority in the U.S. House and saw their edge in the Senate whittled down to a few seats."

Let's see...in the top 10 for the biggest spending Congress in the history of the US--oh, wait! It was number 1 for that! In the top 10 for most unpopular Congress since the formation of this country--oops!! Number one for that one too! In the top 10 for least transparent Congress? Number one there too!! This Congress doesn't need a top 10 list of their achievements...they're NUMBER ONE in a BUNCH of things!!
